    • Verse 1
    Got 

    a 
    mandolin 
    for 
    the 
    second hand 

    From 
    a 

    Mr. 

    Chisholm 
    in 
    the 
    local 
    band 

    Had 
    the 
    sweetest 
    tone, 
    resonant 
    and 
    low 

    Of
    ten 
    made 
    me 
    wonder 
    why 
    he 
    let it 
    go 

    If 
    you 
    have the 
    time, 

    how they 
    parted 
    company 

    And 
    he offered 
    it 
    for sale makes 

    a fascinating 
    tale 

    Poor 

    Mr. 

    Chisholm 
    played 
    on 
    the mandolin 

    But 
    he 
    couldn't 
    win 

    cause 
    he 
    tried 
    to swing 

    An
    d he 
    broke 
    a string 
    every 
    time 

    Poor 

    Mr. 

    Chisholm 
    just 
    couldn't 
    dig 
    the 
    jive 

    When 
    he 
    did 
    arrive 
    at 
    the 
    proper 
    note 

    He 
    arrived 
    by 
    boat 
    every time 

    He 
    tried 
    to 
    jazz 
    up 
    his 
    mandolin 

    But 
    nev
    er 
    could 
    quite 
    con
    trol 
    it 

    He al
    ways 
    brought 
    by 

    and 
    handle 
    in

    When 
    it took 
    a lick, 

    he always 
    broke 
    a pick 

    Poor 

    Mr. 

    Chisholm, 
    you're 
    quite 

    a gay 
    old 
    blade 

    With your 
    ser
    enade, 
    but your 
    carnage 

    Jack fed 
    a 
    truck 
    gone back 
    to 

    Dubuque 

    Get 
    a youth, 
    you 
    disgrace 
    your 
    kin 

    On 
    the 
    mandolin 
    every 
    time 

    Interlude 1










    What 
    a 
    Verse 2
    man! 

    You 
    disgrace 
    your 
    kin 
    on 

    the mandolin 
    every 
    time.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
